I CAN HAZ JOB NOW!!!11
Lady from the GOOD job (not Stupid Recruiter Man) just called and FINALLY offered it!! (I was expecting this call since *Wednesday* and was freaking out that it meant they weren't going to offer it)!!
The super good news is that I might not do it as a 1099 contractor--sure, I'd make more money that way, but it would also involve a LOT of set up and stuff. She's going ot look into how much they could offer on salary, and call me back. YAY
